Bit of a scapegoat today, thought he had a good game actually and was only partially at fault for the second goal.

Since you mentioned the WT, thought I'd share. Now THAT'S a football stadium :D

The West Terrace is not a good example, it didn't have a roof (just an overhang that covered the back half a dozen rows). The roof at the Ricoh is too high and it doesn't allow for good acoustics and makes the ground feel too open. It's a minor point though, there are much bigger faults than that.

But you can't judge a football ground based just on the structure, that is absurd. Would anyone buy a 6 bedroom farm house in Wood End? Location is everything. Dump the Emirates just inside the M25 and it becomes a whole different experience. I'd also argue that the quality of the building...

Have one for me. I need it.

But that is not what we were discussing. I am an extremely proud Coventrian, and will often defend the city against criticism (much of which is unwarranted). I was just responding to the comment that said it is "one of the finest football stadiums in the country". I disagree with that, I...

No, I didn't say it was the truth, I said it was an opinion.

I don't know anyone who likes it; but perhaps that's because I have no mates. It is scruffy, bleak and windswept, the whole area is depressing in the extreme. I hate the King Power (the stadium) but at least they built it next to Filbert Street and you can walk to the town centre, train...

I've been to them all with the exception of Brighton and Rotherham. They are all shit, but just a little less shit than the Ricoh. Why are you so defensive anyway? It's just an opinion about a building, and I said I'd love for us to be playing there more than anything else.

That's a relief, you had me worried for a minute.

All of them.

Yep, glad you agree. Everything a football stadium shouldn't be. But it's home.

The Ricoh is shit, but nothing would give me greater pleasure than rocking up there on boxing day to watch the City.

Thanks for those kind words. I agree, we are a proper football club and I was proud yesterday. Unfortunately there is a small minority on here who go out of their way to bitch about our supporters. Some of the whining on here in the past 12 hours has been embarrassing. Anyhow, good luck for...

I repeat, not ONE incident directly involving an mk dons supporter, so yes you are being a drama queen. Boorish behaviour is a million miles from bullying, and our fans were no more boorish inside or outside the ground than they were at wolves.

Yet another drama queen. Bully boy mentality? I've not heard of a single issue involving an mk dons supporter, not one. "Getting kicked all over Swindon"? You're getting hysterical. It was one flash point, and that much more resembled bullying given the group of our fans they chose to have...

The memory is a bit hazy to be fair. I don't generally buy into the 'country has gone to the dogs' argument though. Nothing much has changed from what I can tell. You can pick up a newspaper from the 80s, 90s and 00s and you'll read the same stories and and the same moans on the letters page...

I started wearing them when they were no longer cool. Story of my life.

Is this the Mail Online? Nobody likes to see that sort of thing, it's ugly and leaves a sour taste; but let's be clear, I remember the 80s and it was far more violent then than it is now (and I'm not just talking about football). The city centre was like a war zone back then.

A little bit of perspective at last.
